Washburn has been advertising the Washburn-Colorado game as a championship game. Looks a little premature to the outsider.
Senator Getty said several good things in chapel yesterday, things that are worth remembering and things that are worth practicing.
There is an advantage to the Hospital Association, even if the membership were so limited that no direct aid could be given. The hospitals make a rate to the Association that is much lower than the regular charge. That, in itself, is enough to induce anyone to join, merely for selfish motives.
The Hospital Association is now formally organized. The membership should be one thousand within the next two weeks. Such a number would practically guarantee full payment of hospital expenses for all its members who may require hospital care during the year. If you haven't paid your four bits, do it now. If you have, get your friends in line.
The yelling in chapel yesterday morning was something like we should have every Friday and at every other favorable opportunity. Why would it not be all right to do as some other institutions do, and give five minutes to the University yells at Friday assembly? It would not take anything from the dignity of the assembly.
The freshmen at Chicago have unanimously voted to wear green caps during the freshman period of their career. Why should not the classes here adopt some such action? Nothing of the kind has ever been attempted, to be sure, but if the classes should take some such action the unity of the classes would be promoted greatly by it. A freshman cap, or a sophomore hat should mean just as much as a senior cap and gown. Such simple customs would promote a feeling of coherence and unity to the classes which is sadly lacking in the last two or three years. The scraps are gone—let some other custom
come in to perform the same office. Class "lids" would do it.
Speaking on the subject "Ten Yards to Gain," Coach Kennedy said some very pertinent things at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Thursday evening. He deplored the unsportsmanlike spirit of hissing or roasting men on the gridiron, and pointed out the untimeliness of much of the roasting. The important point on this line was the lack or spirit. Heed the coach and let the cheer leader be your leader in earnest for the rest of the season.
Clay County Club.
The Clay county club students of Kansas University met Wednesday evening and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Kenneth Campbell, secretary, Miss Olive Bruce, treasurer, Mr. Worrel. A football team is to be organized to play the Clay county high school team on the Christmas vacation. Thomas Gowenlock is to be captain. Plans for a Christmas banquet and reunion of K.U. students from Clay county at Clay Center are being set on foot.
The members of the Kansas Gas, Water and Light Association who were here in attendance on the meeting of the association held in the Eldridge House parlors Tuesday, visited the various departments of the University Wednesday. Among the various papers read at the meeting Tuesday were two by members of the faculty of the University. One of these was presented by Prof. E.H.S. Bailey on the subject "The Composition of Natural Gas." The other, by Professor R.M. Freeman, dealt with the subject of "The Relation of Kansas University to the Electrical Industry of Kansas."
When we say "ordinary," we mean the kind of Clothing that you'll see in nine out of ten Clothing stores. For instance,
You can buy a Suit for $12—, $15—, or $18— in any clothing house.
Our kind of Clothing is not the ordinary sort.
Every clothier sells Men's Suits at these prices. But!
Common price, you'll say.
Yes! You're right!
For instance:
If you will come in for a look at our Fall and Winter Suits at these prices you'll see Suits that you have never seen equaled for the money.
That's the point!

The Riddell Lecture Course.
Professor Newton N. Riddell's justly celebrated and popular series of lectures which have been running in Lawrence for ten days, closed Wednesday night and the Professor has left town. At the close of the last lecture the Professor announced that his expenses had exceeded his receipts by only eight dollars. Eight dollars, he intimated, he considered remarkably cheap for the privilege of being of service to the town.
All that one can hope to get out of a University course the professor offers in ten easy lectures. He carries a complete and up-to-date assortment of staple and fancy ideas on politics, religion, art, poetry, music, physiology, psychology, sociology, love, courtship, marriage, and heredity. His lectures contained the key to health, wealth and complete happiness, and the cash value of each lecture to each individual who heard it whas modestly estimated by the professor at $100.
From first to last the spacious Fraternal Aid Hall, where the lectures were given, was crowded with thinkers, whom the professor not only edified but amused and entertained and diverted as well. The Lawrence ministerial alliance, under whose auspices the professor came here, are highly gratified at the success of the course.
W. S. Franklin, Professor of Physics at Lehigh University, Penn., has just presented to the alumni library a copy of his new book, "Elements of Electrical Engineering." The book is a well illustrated 500-page work. He was assisted in its production by another Lehigh professor.
Professors Bushong and P. F.Walker will each read a paper before the Sigma Xi society at the next meeting, Nov. 25, giving the results of experiments made during the summer by the geological department of the oil and gas wells of Kansas.
